Re: get rid of KDE?

Ran the code from the link and got this error:

Code:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package kubuntu-desktop is not installed, so not removed
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
default-jre : Depends: openjdk-6-jre (>= 6b23~pre11-1ubuntu1~) but it is not going to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

Did some searching, but can't find if anyone has actually solved this yet.

I ran the wall of text again and got a different error. I now am getting this now after a reboot:

Code:

Re: get rid of KDE?

I ran the command, rebooted and still have KDE splash and log in. I can also log in to KDE with no issue

I don't know if the java wrapper is part of play on Linux for steam or not so I am I hesitant to remove it. I did make a Redo Backup last night before I started fiddling with this just in case though.

I copy and pasted the wall of command into LO writer and did a ctrl-f to look for that java wrapper. It is not part of what's is listed in that command so I don't know why it would stop the removal?!

I may be way off base here, but is there a way to remove the held packages that it is freaking out about in the last line of the error? Maybe force it to ignore them? (I am still quite a newb, so I may just be talking out of my rear now)

I really appreciate your time on this! If we can't get it, I will live with having them both here and only use Ubuntu, I have just read that having them both could cause conflicts and instability. I am trying to not do a fresh install because the 5GB download of Skyrim on Steam takes literally days
